 The file {\tt "wx/wxprec.h"} includes {\tt "wx/wx.h"}. Although this incantation

-Borland precompilation is largely automatic. Visual C++ requires specification of {\tt "wx/wxprec.h"} as
-the file to use for precompilation. Watcom C++ is automatic apart from the specification of
-the .pch file. Watcom C++ is strange in requiring the precompiled header to be used only for
-object files compiled in the same directory as that in which the precompiled header was created.
-Therefore, the wxWidgets Watcom C++ makefiles go through hoops deleting and recreating
